Chloroform

Chloroform

Poison me softly, a chloroform death,
Cover my face, claim my breath
Remnants explode, projectile pieces,
Body distorts with shards it releases.

You're kryptonite, my resistance weak,
Smeared mascara on damp cheek.
Gelid emptily stare, life wanes away,
Like blasphemy, you dared to say.

Promises broke my heart in two,
So kill me softly with everything you do.
Who will remember this cadaver on steel?
Rolling down halls on a squeaky wheel.

Jagged gore on a waxy pale wrist,
No one more pathetic could ever exist.
Kill me softly so I can swivel along,
Only fools, pretend to be strong.

Encased in a morgue chilled drawer,
'Cause love was so worth dying for.
Digging up bones every night with disgust,
Punked by, all lies and mistrust.

Macabre memories endeavor to persist,
Contort love with an intricate twist.
A perfect misdeed committed I must say,
For all crimes of passion have hell to pay.

Ruining defenses like a winter storm,
Chilling blood that kept me warm.
No, you didn't wield a blade that took life,
But betrayal was sharper than any knife.

Cavity exposed, etiology protract,
Keen shards can't be stuffed back.
Sweep glass heart under rug when you go,
It's not prudent to let evidence show.

Sheer brilliance lisa.  Dark and gritty and very sad.  Thoroughly enjoyed it.

That's a very powerful piece my friend. It's something that should be part of a story. Very visual. It does have a very sad feel to it. But you definitely have talent. I am now following your work officially. So I look forward to reading more :)
